between lifetimes

Description

Krystal is the girl behind the mirror; Kai is disgusted with the man he sees.

Foreword

‘I love you,’ he tells her every day, like a hymn—a mantra—a chant—whatever you will. She needs to know, he needs her to know. It’s one of the few things that bridge the gap, that make it the slightest degree less painful. Her lips move like his, in the exact same motions but sounds never pour from , almost like a door that hangs ajar revealing the pitch-black of nightmares behind it. Sometimes he wants her to speak—to respond—he doesn’t compliment her for nothing after all

He gets nothing in return.

Deals with gender dysmorphia. confusing. short.

written for au contraire: a writer's debut which is a really unique challenge/contest thing that I wish I hadn't rushed this entry for. also entered in this  contest // prompt; 'i guess i can never reach you'

Chapter 1: usually when i comment, i write five-page essays filled with phrases like "SDJHsjkfhfJHSKHJK", "??????", and "HOLY MOTHER OF EVERYTHING THAT WAS SO AFJHAFKJSHJKA????". or perhaps a combination of all.

but this time...i won't, because this fanfic deserves more than just "?????? HOLY ", even though that's what's going through my head right now. no, this fanfic deserves so, so much more. more than what i can give. i really want to write a super-long comment where i point out which parts i like and comment on your choice of words, but...i love it all. this is one of the most beautiful fanfics i have read, and it says a lot, because i've read my fair share of fanfics. i am speechless--words fail me when i try to express my love for this fanfic. i loved the theme, i loved the genre, i loved the subtle hints of what was going on, and jongin... jONGIN holy mother of god. i love your writing, the choice of words, how everything flows, everything! everything about this fanfic is just pure brilliance. and then, just because no other words can explain how i feel: ADJHKHAKFJKAHDKSJAL????? but yes. all in all, i loved it and you should never stop writing because the world needs talented people like you. ^u^♥︎

thank you for writing this amazing piece! ^-^ i am sure it will stay with me forever.

love,
ADKHJDHAKJ

Whoa. Your stories never fails to amaze me, seriously. This is my first time reading a story that has a plot like this. It's very unique and very creepy + cryptic at the same time (in a good way, of course)

Kaistal suits so well for this kind of genres ;_;

Chapter 2:
I was contemplated whether he was actually stalking her by using electronic device & the 'mirror' wasnt actually the mirror if you get me. Haha. But I did thought too if he's hallucinating. Thanks for the explanation now it makes sense. This actually reminds me of an old Hwayobi's MV. I feel that it's kind of similar in a few scenes.
